Deleted my snarky comment here to give a more measured one. I stand by the fact that this is a really annoying change and I'd really prefer if adobe would focus less on genAI/the Labor Theft Machine/the corroding of our creative/critical thinking, and more on making these programs better and worth the insane pricetag we pay. or at least maintain some sort of higher standard, I'm really tired of the glitches in basic functions that slip through with every update. I've used adobe products for almost 15 years now even as they get more powerful they become worse-- bloated and glitchy. updating used to be exciting now it's anxiety inducing and interrupts workflows.

that said-- I've been holding shift while moving a group of objects as suggested as the work around and noticed that it locks the objects to the grid so you can shift them on the Y or X axis accurately; I like it, if only because I used to edit the numeral values in order to make exact & accurate changes like this. And I think maybe this must have been the intended UX purpose? like, holding shift to keep the movements to a grid is genuinely quite helpful. I have no idea if this was in previous versions but I'm discovering it just because of this change. so, cool, I guess.

anyway, that said, it's annoying to change something so fundamental and committed to countless users' muscle memory. selecting multiple objects and not holding shift should still allow all objects selected to move with held down LMB.

hoping the fix happens quickly.

I hope this is fixed asap. Beyond ridiculous

Please fix asap. This is really impacting my workflow efficiency.

Any idea how long it will take to fix the bug?

I placed 6 Illustrator files on one an INDD page. I selected all with master Arrow. Placed the master Arrow tool on one of them (all six are selected and active). I move them. Only the one item where the Arrow tool moves, the other 5 other art files remain in place. You use to be able to move all elements at same time regardless of where the Arrow tool was placed. The only way to move multiple items is to place the Arrow tool directly on the bounding box outline, otherwise it refuses to move the 6 independent files at same time. This is a bug.

INDD 21.4
OS 26.5

I have been an Adobe user since PageMaker days and once you have trained your brain (and fingers) on certain things, it gets frustrating when it just doesn't happen that way any more... I can't wait for the update on this! Thank you for looking into it... but the sooner the better!!

This issue is affecting me as well. Very frustrating. I have been working around this issue by grouping the objects, moving them, then ungrouping them. Looking forward to a fix. Thank you!

Lovely, another stupid issue that will take absolutely forever to get fixed just like with the undo history one

I love bugs like that. Basic features not working correctly.

Same here

How can I roll back on InDesign to InDesign 21.3, the version is not avialable in the Creative Cloud to download and the former versions are deleted after updating?

Same here I'm afraid. Rolled back to 21.3. Won't be upgrading in a hurry.

Another user frustrated by this. We pay enough to Adobe to use their products, this seems like such a simple oversight.

Just adding my name to the list of people experiencing this issue. Very frustrating when you've been using a tool for 20 years, to suddenly have the way it works changed to something different.

I would also like to add, as another user has already, that I don't have the option to select key object when trying to align objects - it simply deselects that object. It is infuriating to have my workflow changed in so many ways. Please implement a fix for both of these issues as soon as humanly possible.

Have the same bug - please solve...

I am having this same issue, holding the shift key down does work but that is not practicital for my work flow. This problem also prevents me from aligning objects to a key object.

Also having this issue. It's incredibly frustrating. Do you have an ETA on when this will be fixed?
(holding shift does NOT work)

Basic functionality should always be a priority over the addition of "new" AI fluff features.

Amazing. Absolutely amazing, was ruining my day so badly that I got onto the support chat with adobe, and after 20 mins of the guy thinking that I could not select more than one object, and him telling me to fix permissions, he finally tried it on his computer and it did not work on his computer either......

I just can't believe they would allow this to launch..... so bloody basic.....

We don't care about crazy AI features. We care about stable software to do our jobs everyday. Until AI can make decent full blown presentations we still need to be able to use this software.

Having this issue. Why change something this basic, that has been standard workflow since ... forever!? Doing my head in!

Basically the title says it all. I will select multiple images/objects but when I go to move them, only the one that my cursor is touching will stay selected and move. The work around is to select the objects, hold the shift key and then I'm able to move everything I have selected. This is annoying at best and causing disruptions in my workflow.

Any updates on a solution?
